Abstract
Methods for dry reforming with a red mud catalyst support composition, one method including providing a methane feed and carbon dioxide feed to react over the red mud catalyst support composition at increased temperature and increased pressure to produce synthesis gas comprising H2 and CO, the composition comprising red mud material produced from an alumina extraction process from bauxite ore.
Claims17
A method for dry reforming with a red mud catalyst support composition, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a methane feed and carbon dioxide feed to react in a dry reforming reaction over the red mud catalyst support composition at a temperature between about 500° C. to about 1000° C. and a pressure between about 5 bar and about 20 bar to produce synthesis gas comprising H2 and CO, the red mud catalyst support composition comprising:
- caustic red mud waste material produced from an alumina extraction process from bauxite ore, where the methane conversion rate via dry reforming is at least about 4% for at least about 6 hours.
